Keeping on the straight and narrow means living with Honey’s mum Connie and holding down a job just to make ends meet. But a rare night out at a local dance club gives Maria an opportunity to let loose with a joy and energy she had almost forgotten. Maria’s raw talent and killer moves catch the eye of Brandon (Randy Wayne), a Rec Center volunteer, who invites her to help him transform a group of gifted but undisciplined dancers called the HDs. Maria’s skills also attract the attention of her old boyfriend Luis (Christopher Martinez), the charismatic leader of the award-winning 718 dance crew, who hopes to lure her back into the street world she is trying to escape.

Recently released from juvenile detention, talented dancer Maria Ramirez finds an outlet for her passion with a new dance crew.
